i think maybe im a bad person or something i dont know if this even counts as a confession but i was sitting in church today and i just felt so empty like a hollowed out tree or something. i had to go straight there from the site because my uncle needed extra hands to finish the framing on that house over on 4th street and i didn’t even have time to change out of my work boots so i was just sitting there smelling like sawdust and sweat. everyone else looked so clean and i kept trying to hide my fingernails because they’re all cracked and black from the hammer and the dirt and i felt so much shame like i was ruining the holiness of the place just by being there with my dirty skin.
